What is this actually? A demonstration using a healthy person? Its the same guy in the same clothes on the same day. Can't imagine it works that fast and returns him to normal mobility with such muscle fluidity in an hour.
she often will take much longer steps if I put tape on the floor every 14 or 15 inches apart and sometimes she will take much longer steps if I just simply tell to.
@04Schalke04 - any opinions on the herbal L-DOPA formula? i suffer lowered dopamine levels from stimulant use, not PD, thus have no access to pharmaceutical L-DOPA - which i assume is infinitely superior.. tho i'm mainly curious if a herbal L-DOPA would cross the BBB at all
My mothers gait is exactly like the one in this video. She was diagnosed with alzhiemers about a year ago. I started reading about alzhiemers and found she has few symtoms of alzhiemers and all of the symtoms of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalis (NPH) including its classic gait which is to me, exactly like this one. A neurologist said it showed no signs of NPH. Im told by several health care workers they have never seen anyone with alzhiemers and this gait. Any comments would be appreciated.
@yorufe she was misdiagnosed for alzhiemers, and her gait is exactly like one on youtube named " classic nph magnetic gait, which i think looks simular to parkinsons but not exactly. I dont know for sure if she has nph. almost wished she did but a shunt could be risky (bleeding) because of her heart history,TIA, stent etc. Im not familier with" basil ganglia lesion". Or the "basal ganglia disruption" surferdoc said will be the cause. Is there any type treatment that helps?
do they take such small steps because they are incapable of taking longer strides, or is it because of the gait instability from the basal ganglia lesion?
@surferdoc84 its not because they are incapable, if you give someone with Parkinsons external cues such as tape on the ground at bigger distances apart then they will take larger steps. I'm not sure exactly why they take small steps but the basal ganglia disruption will be the cause.
@markcrouchley My mothers gait is exactly like this one. When trying to walk with these very fast and short steps, I can say, "Take long steps" she does, and walks fairly normal . After I pointed this out to her doctor among a few other things that suggested she may not have alzhiemers at all, and that it could be Normal Pressure Hydrocaphelis she seemed to become somewhat angry. One month later , the same doctor with a bit of hesitation says alzhiemers is ruled out . I dont know what to do.

@sallyir They treat the patient with L-DOPA. The effects are observed almost immediately. Neurotransmitters work fairly quickly.

This is a Parkinson's Gait, and Parkinson's disease is different from the Alzheimer's one.

@kirbylee57 I really don't know. I 'm not a doctor, I'm just a student. You should ask her doctor. Don't give up.
Good luck.
